Super Bowl XLI MVP Peyton Manning passed for 247 yards and 1 touchdown as the Colts won
their first Super Bowl in 36 years. The Colts outgained the Bears 430-265 in total yards and maintained a
38:04-21:56 edge in time of possession.
Devin Hester
opened the game with a 92-yard kickoff return for a
touchdown, the first time the Super Bowl began with a
touchdown.
Two possessions later, on third-and-10,
Manning found Reggie Wayne wide open deep down
the middle for a 53-yard touchdown.
A steady rain
forced the teams to commit 4 first-quarter turnovers,
and Hunter Smith mishandled the snap on the extra
point, allowing the Bears to maintain a 7-6 lead. Later in
the quarter, Thomas Jones’ 52-yard run set up Rex
Grossman’s short touchdown pass to Muhsin Muhammad
for a 14-6 lead. The Colts scored on back-to-back
drives to begin the second quarter, capped by Dominic
Rhodes’ 1-yard run, for a 16-14 lead.
To begin the second
half, the Colts ran 7:34 off the clock with a 13-play,
56-yard drive that culminated with Adam Vinatieri’s 24-
yard field goal for a 19-14 lead. The teams then exchanged
field goals, and the Bears forced a punt. On
first-and-10 from the Bears’ 38 with 11:59 to play, Grossman’s
pass intended for Muhammad was thrown high.
Kelvin Hayden intercepted the pass, maneuvered up the sideline while staying inbounds, and raced 56 yards
for a touchdown. It was Hayden’s first-ever professional
interception. Four plays later, Bob Sanders intercepted
Grossman’s deep pass.
The Bears got the ball back
twice, but never ran a play across midfield. Manning,
who won the Pete Rozelle MVP award, was 25 of 38 for
247 yards and 1 touchdown, with 1 interception.
Rhodes carried 21 times for 113 yards. Joseph Addai
had 10 receptions for 66 yards. Grossman was 20 of 28
for 165 yards and 1 touchdown, with 2 interceptions.
Jones rushed 15 times for 112 yards.
